A Hybrid class should reduce more than 50% of face-to-face class activities with online work. If the meeting pattern can reflect the actual days & times the class meets, we can have better use of the classrooms. For example, if a class with meeting pattern MW 2:00-3:15pm plans to meet face-toface on Mondays and online on Wednesdays, show the actual meeting pattern of Monday pm. Please include a free format note to explain the hybrid nature of this class. 12
